VÍK PRJÓNSDÓTTIR SCARF
FACTORY
25.–27.03
12:00–18:00
Among the strongholds of knit-
wear company Vík Prjónsdóttir is
the traceability and transparency
of the production of Víkurprjón
(located in the village of Vík í
Mýrdal). At DesignMarch, Vík
Prjónsdóttir will operate a scarf
factory, allowing guests to observe
the production process and
purchase freshly made scarves
made by the designers as well
as Víkurprjón’s staff. As in every
other factory, production does
not stop except for coffee breaks,
and therefore this little factory
will have a steady pulse, heat and
sweat throughout DesignMarch.
A reception, by invitation only, will
take place on Friday March 25th
between 5 and 7 pm.

Scintilla debuts a new home
textiles collection at Spark Design
Space on March 24th, the first day
of DesignMarch. This is Scintilla’s
second home textiles collection,
emphasising, as before, progres-
sive graphics and top quality
natural fibres. A part of the col-
lection comes in a limited edition,
made especially for the exhibition.
This collection manifests fresh
currents in Icelandic design, where
direct inspiration from nature gives
ground to vibrant colours and an
exotic world of graphic forms.
Scintilla’s designer is clothing
and textile designer Linda Björg
Árnadóttir. With fifteen years of
experience in the field, she has for
example worked at fashion houses
in France and Italy. For the past
nine years, she has presided over
the faculty of fashion design at the
Iceland Academy of Art. The open-
ing party will take place Thursday
March 24, starting at 5 pm.

SOUND OF FASHION
25.03 20:30
Fashion houses Andersen & Lauth
and Farmers Market, in collabora-
tion with filmmakers and musi-
cians, host an event at Design-
March. Located in the courtyard of
Reykjavik Art Museum, Hafnar-
hús, the idea is to create a little
Reykjavik love story, attempting
to cause guests’ hearts to beat
as one in synch with live music,
improvised from the event’s theme.
The sophisticated and adventur-
ous feel of Andersen & Lauth will
be entwined with the air of the
countryside romance surrounding
Farmers Market, resulting in an
Icelandic fairy tale for eyes and
ears.

17 THE NATIONAL FLAG
23.03–27.03
‘Iceland’s Flag – Usage, Respect
and Treatment’ (‘Þjóðfáni Íslands
– Notkun, virðing og umgengni’)
is a new book, illustrating every
principal rule and tradition
pertaining to Iceland’s national
flag, which is utilised on surpris-
ingly few occasions. Undoubt-
edly, that is because of people’s
fear of infringing the strict rules
they believe accompany it, for
example that if the flag touches
the ground it has been ruined and
must be destroyed immediately.
This book’s purpose is to dispel
such myths and demonstrate how
easy and enjoyable it is to hoist
the flag every day. The book will
be published at DesignMarch. The
opening party and exhibition at the
book’s publisher Crymogea will
begin at 8:30 pm, Thursday March
24. The exhibition will continue
at Crymogea over the following
weeks.

This DesignMarch, the head-

at the Reykjavik harbour. This
year’s theme is ‘Architecture and
Industry’. Just like last year, this
is collaboration between three
trade unions offering a varied
programme, not to be missed by
anyone interested in architecture

filled with exciting exhibitions and
events. Also, guests are invited to
enjoy refreshments at a unique
café overlooking the harbour.
Among the main events are furni-
ture exhibition 10+, featuring thirty
new and exciting pieces; Process—
an exhibition of the working
process of architects; Touched
Landscape—an experiential space
created by landscape architects;
lectures as well as a screening
of the film ‘Borgaraleg hegðun’
(‘Civil Behaviour’) by students of
the Icelandic Academy of Arts. In
addition, furniture and material
manufacturers will exhibit Icelan-
dic design, which is currently in
production. The opening party will
take place Thursday March 24th,
starting at 8 pm.
